EXTRA: Guo'en Temple, Xinxing (Zhaoqing), Guangdong

(This article was published in the Shenzhen Daily on September 1, 2014.)

The purported tomb (墓) of the parents of the Sixth Patriarch (六祖) of Chan (Zen = 禅)
stands at Guo'en Temple (国恩寺), Xincheng, Zhaoqing, Guangdong (广东, 肇庆市, 新兴).

July 29, 2012 - The morning after visiting Qingyun Temple to Zhaoqing's north, I took a highway bus south to Xinxing. Because I couldn't find the local bus down to Guo'en Temple, I ended up being gouged by a taxi driver. (But I found the return bus!)
